Home My WebLink AboutCorrespondence Jason Schubert- Heat Transfer storage building 1 From: Jason Schubert To: Walsh, Kenn Date: 12/12/2006 11:45:44 am Subject: Heat Transfer storage building Kenn, I have attached the Covenants and Restrictions for The Business Center at College Station for you. I have also attached a three-page document describing the typical review process. Besides the basic submittal procedures at the front of the document,Article XI on page 9 of the Covenants and Restrictions appears to start the main substantive items that will need to be considered. Landscaping requirements appear to be prominent in the document as well as the Architectural Guidelines on pp 13& 14 will also be significant for the project. Let me know of any questions you may have.

Good Morning! The storage building proposal needs to be in compliance with both the Unified Development Ordinance and the Covenants and Restrictions for the Business Center. Building elevations must be submitted in compliance with Article XIV Architectural Guidelines of the Covenants and Restrictions for the Business Center. If you need a copy of these restrictions, I will be happy to provide it to you. The following information is needed for the Board's consideration of the site addition: § 13 copies of the proposed site plan. If you do not have a copy of the original stamped approved site plan, I can provide one for you. You will need to use this plan to draw in the proposed storage facility, driveway and required landscaped parking islands along either side of the new driveway. A phase line should be drawn 20 feet beyond all proposed improvements. Please remember that all elements on the plan must be drawn to the appropriate scale. § Development Permit application with clearing, grading and erosion control plan § Easement for electric line, if public § All building elevations § All building materials, colors and textures § Information on any additional exterior lighting proposed § Information on additional utility demands, routing and connection points § Proposed construction staging area Once the documents have been submitted, the Board meeting can be scheduled.

Jason Schubert- HTRI's Metal Storage Building Request 1 From: David Gwin To: Terry Childers Date: 1/4/2007 4:50:11 pm Subject: HTRI's Metal Storage Building Request CC: Jason Schubert; Lance Simms; Molly Hitchcock Terry: Regarding the metal storage building issue with HTRI's, P&DS received part of the information that was requested of the applicant on 12/29/06 ... but there are still some significant pieces outstanding (i.e. specific colors, materials, elevations,etc.) I spoke with Molly and Jason on the issue and we feel that we probably have enough information to go ahead and formulate some kind of decision on this issue. However, it is probably not going to be a decision that makes Ms. Beyer very happy. In an effort to be as customer-friendly and responsive as possible, I have asked Molly to go ahead and set up the meeting for Monday(1/8/07) ... and in the mean time,Jason will notify the applicant about the still outstanding information and request that it be provided prior to the actual meeting. I think we all know that there are some real challenges with this request, but if we can take a look at it as soon as possible that will help us better manage the resulting situation. Just let me know if you have questions or need additional information in this regard. David "444L,4.„, CITY OF COI T FGE STATION 4 d' Planning d Development Services 1101 Texas Avenue,P.O.

After a thorough review and discussion of your existing submittal,the Board determined that the information submitted is not yet adequate to establish compliance with the various development requirements of the Business Center at College Station as identified in its Covenants and Restrictions. Article IV(Review& Approval),Section 4.50,provides a list of specific items that need to be submitted in order for the Board to perform a complete and timely review of any development request of this type. However,based on the limited information submitted thus far,we were able to determine that the proposed metal siding does not meet the existing development standards as established for the Business Center in 1996. For example,Article XIV(Architectural Guidelines)Section 14.30 requires that building materials"convey permanence, substance,timelessness and restraint"and shall be of "good architectural character"and"selected for harmony of the building with adjoining buildings." We do not believe that your metal building, as currently proposed,meets these primary architectural and design requirements. Finally,I wanted to let you know that the Business Center Covenants and Restrictions do allow the Board some discretion over the amount of required parking for a given project. Depending upon the final design and proposed long-term use of the building,we may be able to work with you on the ultimate number of parking spaces needed for the project. I trust this information is helpful and we look forward to receiving the additional information needed for a full and timely review of your project. In the mean time,please feel free to contact me at 979.764.3570 or David Gwin,Director of Economic and Community Development, at 979.764.3753 should you have further questions or require additional assistance in this regard.
